Well loosing 10-15 miles is nothing really
What i care about is how reliable is it going to be, considering that i'm going to get tuned by Todd is a good thing

^^^ the car is as reliable as it would be N/A...

I know some peeps here say that they dont trust their turbo'ed tCs anymore- honestly its all up to the driver.

just keep these key pointers in mind:
> let ur car warm up for atleast a min or two before driving it. (best thing to do is to start the car and then go inside to put on ur shoes...lol thats what i do)

> DO NOT boost until ur car is fully warmed up!!!

> just take a 15-20 min food/gas stop every 125-150miles- that ways the car cools down bit by bit.

> let the car run for a min or two when you are parking it after a long drive so the turbo cools down (turbo timer)

> try not to floor it every second of the drive. drive it like is stock for half of the time.

> when racing (keep it off the streets) do not Redline the engine everytime... just because its the redline doesn't mean its gonna give you the most amount of power.
keep your gear changes between the peak TQ and peak HP... u'll be faster.

> Most importantly... take care of ur car as it is person- try not to take advantage of it all the time.

hope this helps and hope this wasn't too boring of a read.

Go ahead, you'll be bored with it in about 2 days.

run 10.5 psi on a 50 trim turbo. make sure you have a good fuel pump and injectors 2 step colder plugs have it tuned by someone who knows what they are doing,and you will run 14.6 af and 350whp. On a reliable DD stock motor know 2 guys who have 30k+ zero problems.and you wont get bored with that. bluesciontc has a 418+ soon to be 500+ tC t3/t4 60 trim and will be running by C6 z06's in a few weeks after a retune. it is possible, kenny tran built a 739hp daily driveable tC for nitto. Its a dyno queen but it is reliable and could be daily driven. chris rado has a 500+ tC. Im not saying that you can go to walmart and spot a Z06 eater but it has been done. Just wanted to throw in my .02

it just ends up feeling like a bigger engine. its not turbo power, so yeah i guess you'd end up being bored, but its very manageable and makes the car pretty well balanced if set up right.

i dont know if ihave that many regrets but sometimes i regret supercharging as my oil is magically disappearing. no blowby or anything. i just dont get it.
